A lot of people would still know that Walter Scott was shot in the back even without the video. As any paramedic or coroner can tell you, entrance wounds tend to be smaller than exit wounds. Depending on state laws and circumstances, HIPAA rules may prevent this kind of information from being released to family members. I propose that in the event of a homicide, all immediate family members should have access to any medical records related to the killing. Granted, grieving family members don't want to read the gory details, but they should have the right to turn that info over to an attorney or anyone else who they want to investigate the matter. If someone gets fatally shot, the family should have a right to know what angle the shots came from.

"Stop Beatin Them Mules"
JOSIAH "SI" KLEGG By John McElroy
Book Two:
THRU THE STONE RIVER CAMPAIGN
published 1910 source cite

As most Libertarians understand, the Primary Selection Process is the
other two parties way of capturing a larger audience of voters - whom
dont want to pay to play in politics - but also dont have much to any
idea that they as Taxpayers, are also footing the bill for what should
be private Political Party business, when it comes to slating and
vetting candidates for elected office in each County and State in
November, similar to what we here at the Libertarian Party of Allen
County, Indiana will be doing on Monday evening at Golden Corral on Lima Road in Fort Wayne at 6 PM, and later two weeks down the road at the
State Convention as well. This jockeying for position and posture in a
starting gate piled so high, it almost becomes impossible to manage when
the candidates start chewing on each others feed bags, to try and find
something good to use against each other, finally came to a butting head
this last week.

IMHO
what makes this a ballot proxy war - and not just a concerned candidate
with standing filing in support of another candidate already
disenfranchised by the ACEB - is that said candidate is holding the ACEB
by the balls and all the other candidates by the throat by stipulating
recension of said 40+ complaints if original disenfranchisement is
resolved prior to the day of common selection by Primary Voters, that
technically qualifies as blackmail even intimidation, even though there
were already stipulated conflicts of interest by the Judge whom recused
himself on grounds and pushed the hearing date back a week.

""...
But, Burgess said the Allen County Election Board mishandled complaints
filed within that deadline by Democratic mayoral candidate David Roach.
The board held a hearing on February 18 in which it did take one
candidate off the ballot and dismissed the rest of the complaints. Roach
is now appealing in court. On Facebook, Burgess wrote to the board, “if
you are willing to engage and settle the matter of Roach v ACEB before
the primary” then she would drop her complaints against the 27
candidates.“I’m
willing to withdraw them even though they are valid because I believe
the Election Board will be more vigilant in the future, but this other
case needs to stop being in legal limbo and needs to move on,” Burgess
said.Downs was at the hearing for Roach’s complaints and said he thinks the board did take them seriously.“[Roach]
did himself some damage by saying he looked for evidence and couldn’t
find any, but you should keep looking. I can make that same claim about
anybody, and that’s not a credible reason to investigate,” Downs said.
.....""

Does
the ACEB need overhauled? Yes a long time ago.

But filing as a threat
to warrant an untimely outcome in a separate case and also questionable
due process is my concern and should be every other Citizens as well. Gina,
you should have either a. not dangled the carrot of recension or b.
waited til after the Primary and filed direct charges of perjury. Sometimes you just got start smacking a mule across the head to get it to budge they dont like eating their vegetables either. In other words, the proper action would have been a Writ of Mandamus against the ACEB; instead you put the ACEB against everyone else on a respective hunch in some cases and in others still questionable concerns.

There has always been some bias against
Hoosiers. Many Hoosiers claim to be born that way, but conservatives
and liberals insist that it is a lifestyle choice. In fact, there are
“recovering Hoosiers” in 49 states. The federal government
requires Hoosiers to carry ID cards that identify ourselves as such
when we try to board a plane. But you don’t see Muslims having to
carry Muslim ID cards or Christians having to carry Christian ID
cards. It’s like we are being singled out.

There are many stereotypes about
Hoosiers. Outsiders think we all wear plaid or Ed Hardy shirts. They
think we all work on farms, or at least use that as a cover story
when we try to buy anhydrous ammonia and a suitcase full of
pseudoephedrine. They think of Hoosiers as people who put Confederate
flags on their Ford pickup trucks even though Indiana is a northern
state and everyone knows that General Lee and Jeff Davis were diehard
Chevy owners.

There are many subcultures within
Hoosier subculture. There are folks up in Noble County who “warsh”
their dishes. There is Harrison County where people talk like Dukes
of Hazzard characters. And there is Lake County, a foul abomination
that should be given back to the British. I happen to be a
“metro-Hoosier”. I can usually pass for a non-Hoosier while on
the East Coast unless I slip up and try to order a pop at a
restaurant.

Hoosiers are very
spiritually diverse. We worship deities like Jesus, Yahweh, and He
Who Walks Behind the Rows. Yet many of us have concerns about RFRA.
Specifically, many of us are concerned that Bill Belichick might
claim that his Sith religious beliefs are protected when he chokes
people to death from 10 feet away in Lucas Oil Stadium. (The NFL
needs to start testing for midichloridians. And there is good in you
yet, Tom Brady. I can feel it.)

This may be Indiana, but it’s still
America. And I hope that everyone else will accept us for who we are.
At least we deserve more tolerance than what George Takei has for theTwilight Series. And when I think of rednecks and homophobes, I think
of Kid Rock and Eminem. And those guys are from Michigan. So there.
